Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. I want to bring on the co
Speaker 1: host with the most my partner in crime, mister Farrell
Speaker 1: Ellis at Pharaoh Happy Divisional Round Eve to you, sir,
Speaker 1: how are you a partner? I'm excited before.
Speaker 4: And go ahead and should we go ahead and just
Speaker 4: get it out there?
Speaker 1: We go ahead and talk about it? Well, listen, I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you this right now. I am very
Speaker 1: excited for this weekend of football, despite the Packers not
Speaker 1: being all in this weekend. Kudos to the Bears. They
Speaker 1: made the plays they needed to make in that game.
Speaker 1: And I think I brought this up on the show
Speaker 1: several times. My father, when I was a kid, told
Speaker 1: me that this Divisional round weekend of the NFL. He said,
Speaker 1: it's the best weekend football. You have the eight best teams,
Speaker 1: or at least the eight remaining teams gunning for a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship. We have no point spread higher than
Speaker 1: I want to say, seven and a half. We should
Speaker 1: see some good football this weekend, Parrel. And your father.
Speaker 4: Is a very, very wise man, and this is the
Speaker 4: greatest weekend of football. Unfortunately, I'm going to be in
Speaker 4: on an airplanes Sunday afternoon, so I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: There were two tragedies and the Bears and the Packers.
Speaker 4: The Packers let it get away. The other tragedy was that.
Speaker 4: And we'll get more into this with Brad and I
Speaker 4: am so thrilled to have Brad here on the show.
Speaker 4: You know, I advised our listeners not to get involved
Speaker 4: with tight End Coastal loved.
Speaker 1: One to go somewhere else.
Speaker 4: And then I just realized that even though he fifty
Speaker 4: eight passes and five touchdowns through the season. In the
Speaker 4: last three games, including last week's playoff game, he's been
Speaker 4: targeted thirty eight times. And we were told he would
Speaker 4: play better later in the year. And you know, I said,
Speaker 4: we could do no harm last week, and we harmed people,
Speaker 4: and I'm just I'm over it, gonna try to do
Speaker 4: better this week.
Speaker 1: You know, when I had a terrestrial radio show, Farrell,
Speaker 1: I had a y that's that's not that. Those are
Speaker 1: those like you rode the dinosaur to the radio show
Speaker 1: way back up, way back in the day. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I would have this guest on. It was a Milwaukee
Speaker 1: Bucks analyst and the Bucks were happening to go through
Speaker 1: a pretty rough part of their season where they had
Speaker 1: gotten blown out three times in a row. And I
Speaker 1: had this guy on and I said, well, clearly, it
Speaker 1: can't get any worse. And he said, Bulky, don't you
Speaker 1: ever say that. And it did get worse for the Bucks.
Speaker 1: And I will never say, no matter what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: fantasy football, pro basketball, life, I will never say it
Speaker 1: can't get any worse, because now I know it clearly
Speaker 1: can get worse. All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's get
Speaker 1: into it. Tonight. It's gonna get better from here on out.
Speaker 1: I want to bring up the Seahawks because I think
Speaker 1: the big I don't know if there was big news
Speaker 1: this week in the NFL for these eight remaining teams,
Speaker 1: that was probably this report out of Seattle. Mike McDonald,
Speaker 1: the Seahawks head coach, said that he's quote really optimistic
Speaker 1: Sam Donald is going to be able to play in
Speaker 1: the divisional round against the forty nine ers. He said
Speaker 1: that there's a possible ability that this injury might limit
Speaker 1: Sam Donald physically, but he's also saying that Donald himself
Speaker 1: is confident he's going to be able to operate normally.
Speaker 1: This is he was very nebulous when it came to
Speaker 1: his responses when he was asked specifics about the injury
Speaker 1: and how it's gonna affect Sam Donald's play Listen, Sam
Speaker 1: Donald needs all the help he can get, clearly, and
Speaker 1: anything that's going to hamstring him even more is going
Speaker 1: to be problematic. This question. We'll get into Sam Donald
Speaker 1: later on in the show, Farrell, but I think most
Speaker 1: people for the playoff challenge too are looking at Rostering,
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigma. Maybe a few people based on
Speaker 1: the data we saw from Fantasy Mojo fantasymojo dot com
Speaker 1: at Fantasy Mojo on X where we always get this
Speaker 1: data from. We saw a handful of people roster Kenneth
Speaker 1: Walker third, as well as Zach Scharbonay last week too.
Speaker 1: So I think the question here is are you at
Speaker 1: all nervous about especially if you're rostering JSN with Donald,
Speaker 1: you know, operating at less than one hundred percent physically.
Speaker 1: We know his limitations in this offense and him as
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and I wonder if this is enough for
Speaker 1: you to say, like, hey, maybe I should look at
Speaker 1: this ground game with Seattle as a pivot off of
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba. Given that Seattle wins with their rushing
Speaker 1: offense and with their defense, especially this season, you can
Speaker 1: make the case that they're going to get to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl based on how good that defense is going
Speaker 1: to be. If Donald is now limited a little bit
Speaker 1: more physically, I don't know. Maybe sharbon A and Walker
Speaker 1: aren't the easy fades they were before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bucky, and you've you're presenting some opportunities for our
Speaker 4: event here at the FFPC there divisional round.
Speaker 1: You look.
Speaker 4: Yardage for Donald for the year, forty yards yardage for
Speaker 4: Jay is in close to eighteen hundred yards. Seventeen and
Speaker 4: change is a stat that I heard. So's he's forty
Speaker 4: five percent of the air yards for this offense. He's
Speaker 4: everything for this quarterback. You you can't really, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know how. You the only thing that's going
Speaker 4: to get this player uh for not being a huge
Speaker 4: difference maker in this contest. And I think the only
Speaker 4: way you can win is by rostering another players if
Speaker 4: this player gets injured.
Speaker 1: That's my thoughts. It's it's a no brainion or roster
Speaker 1: this player the UH and and I think you're right,
Speaker 1: and I think most people will be doing that now.
Speaker 1: I can't remember if I brought this up last week
Speaker 1: or not, but I'm gonna bring it up tonight. As
Speaker 1: far as how that roster ownership worked for the Seahawks
Speaker 1: in the Playoff Challenge last week the five hundred K Challenge,
Speaker 1: Charbonet was owned in UH. Actually, Sharbonette Walker we each
Speaker 1: own in about two percent of leagues, Smith and Jigga
Speaker 1: eighty seven percent of leagues. And that's how people handle it.
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's probably gonna be like that again. However,
Speaker 1: with the eight players in this contest, you do need
Speaker 1: to be different somewhere. I would expect that those two
Speaker 1: percents for Scharbona and Walker are going to be a
Speaker 1: little bit higher this week, regardless of the Donald injury.
Speaker 1: Speaking of injuries, fair Nico Collins not going to be
Speaker 1: playing against the New England Patriots Sunday afternoon. He is
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol not get out of it in time,
Speaker 1: and the Texans ruled him out today. Did not practice
Speaker 1: at all this week, and Christian Kirk obviously had a
Speaker 1: big week. I mentioned this last night on FFPC Insider
Speaker 1: Access with Pat fitz Morris. Kirk was good before the
Speaker 1: Collins injury. He was good after the Collins injury. Like
Speaker 1: Mike McDermott in Rounders, right when worm shows up and
Speaker 1: they get and Mike mctard's like, look, I was winning
Speaker 1: before this guy even got here. Kirsten Kirk was crushing
Speaker 1: in it before Nico Collins even got concussed on last
Speaker 1: week's game. Right, So I think we have to take
Speaker 1: a long look at at Christian Kirk, Jayden Higgins, Jalen Knowle,
Speaker 1: obviously zaber Hutt still factoring into the Texans passing attack.
Speaker 1: I still don't know how you have your quarterback fumble
Speaker 1: five times and win a playoff game by twenty four points.
Speaker 1: But that's what happened with Houston. You go into this
Speaker 1: New England game without a true number one wide receiver Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: This is something we're gonna talk to Brad about as well.
Speaker 1: Do you have any feeling on is Christian Kirk the
Speaker 1: guy that you want a roster from Houston? Is a
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz perhaps? Or are you picking a big game
Speaker 1: or maybe a big postseason from one of these Texans
Speaker 1: rookies out of Iowa State and Noel Or Higgins. I
Speaker 1: really like Higgins.
Speaker 4: We've been Higgins fans since last summer and that's probably
Speaker 4: what I'm going to do. And I think you know
Speaker 4: who's the big beneficiary of this the Pats.
Speaker 1: Defense, it's you. Do you have to take a Texans
Speaker 1: be the question? You have to? Yeah, you have to,
Speaker 1: you have to, But the question is which one? And
Speaker 1: you know, well, honestly, there will be people that will
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I got to take their defense. You
Speaker 1: can't play the defense this week. It's got to be
Speaker 1: a skill position player. Could be Woody Marx. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine a lot of people would be going with Dick Chubb.
Speaker 1: But I'll be fascinating once a lineup's lock here in
Speaker 1: what would it be about nineteen hours a little over
Speaker 1: nineteen hours. Be very interested to see how people handle
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans this weekend, as they are three and
Speaker 1: a half point underdogs or is it four and a
Speaker 1: half point underdogs to the New England Patriots this week
Speaker 1: it is, Oh, they're three point underdogs, so they've tightened
Speaker 1: it up three points. Okay. I want to shift before
Speaker 1: we get our total focus on the Hunter K playoff
Speaker 1: challenge too. With the FFPC, I want to talk about
Speaker 1: two other players that I think that are not in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I know this first guy holds a
Speaker 1: dear spot in your heart, Farrell, and that's Michael Pittman
Speaker 1: the Athletics. James Boyd, who covers the Indianapolis Colts for
Speaker 1: that publication, believes Michael Pittman quote appears to have two
Speaker 1: options restructure his contract or play somewhere else. In twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. Now, after the last game of the season,
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, when he was meeting with the press, kind
Speaker 1: of talked about like how this was probably his last
Speaker 1: game as a Colt. He has a twenty nine million
Speaker 1: dollar cap hit this coming year, and if the Colts
Speaker 1: decide to cut him, that's going to free up twenty
Speaker 1: four million dollars in cap space. He is going to
Speaker 1: be twenty nine next year, and it's certainly possible that
Speaker 1: they could trade him. I would imagine that that's a
Speaker 1: possibility on the table for the Colts right now. What
Speaker 1: do you make of Michael Pittman coming up this year?
Speaker 1: Farrell knowing that he is not over the hill, but
Speaker 1: certainly not a spring chicken anymore, and he probably will
Speaker 1: have a new head coach, new oc, new quarterback, new
Speaker 1: offense to learn prior to the start of the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six season.
Speaker 4: Yes, and that's true about twenty five percent of the league.
Speaker 4: So he might want to go to one of those
Speaker 4: places where there is where everyone's going to be. It's
Speaker 4: a fresh start for everyone. And yeah, it's just one
Speaker 4: of my all time favorite players and I would love
Speaker 4: seeing him in a change avenue. And let's I personally
Speaker 4: hope that he ends up with a quarterback that has
Speaker 4: a little bit more seasoning, perhaps than some of the
Speaker 4: quarterbacks that he's had at Indianapolis. He's benefited from the
Speaker 4: fact that Indianapolis that he plays in a dome, plays
Speaker 4: on a carpet that works well for him, And so
Speaker 4: that could be a situation for him. You take a team,
Speaker 4: you know, we just talked about Seattle. Perhaps that would
Speaker 4: be a place for you know, a place where you've
Speaker 4: got to get some ballance. Do we expect this receiver
Speaker 4: JSN to catch eighteen hundred yards next season? You know,
Speaker 4: the whole league's going to work on taking that player.
Speaker 4: So I think it's a great off season for Pivot.
Speaker 4: And I love the way our writer here has covered
Speaker 4: possibly every outcome that.
Speaker 1: There possibly could be.
Speaker 4: He's covered all the basis so he can claim he's
Speaker 4: going to be.
Speaker 1: Right about New Orleans. I think would be interesting for
Speaker 1: Pittman next year too, playing alongside Chris o'lave and Tyler
Speaker 1: Schuck that that'd be interesting. We'll see much more to
Speaker 1: come on that situation. We have Brad Taylor standing by here.
Speaker 1: The last thing I want to get to before we
Speaker 1: go to the Vson studios to connect with him. Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes stated that his doctor told him he could be
Speaker 1: ready to play week one of the season. This was
Speaker 1: on the Chief's official website. Mahomes said that his rehab
Speaker 1: is going great, that the Chiefs told him he's hitting
Speaker 1: all the checkpoints that he needs to as far as
Speaker 1: strength and range of motion goes. And he says during
Speaker 1: OTAs he expects to be able to do some things there,
Speaker 1: which is good. He says he's hoping to do a
Speaker 1: lot in training camp. This is positive news. I would
Speaker 1: expect nothing else to be coming out of Patrick Mahomes's
Speaker 1: mouth and out of the Chiefs organization. If they're not
Speaker 1: saying this, or if they're saying anything less than this,
Speaker 1: I have serious questions. But I think the serious question
Speaker 1: I have here Farrell. I think some people, myself included,
Speaker 1: were ready to downgrade him with best ball drafts, ready
Speaker 1: to get underway here in the next week or two.
Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking, like, maybe I shouldn't downgrade him as much.
Speaker 1: I still I still am skeptical he's ready for Week one,
Speaker 1: but perhaps he's going to be ready earlier than we think.
Speaker 1: And it's not like he's a receiver or a corner
Speaker 1: or a running back, like he's a quarterback. And I
Speaker 1: think that that as far as coming back from acl
Speaker 1: injuries quarterbacks are not expected. With apologies to quarterbacks, they're
Speaker 1: not expected to do a lot of the sudden change
Speaker 1: of cuts that running backs, receivers, corner so on and
Speaker 1: so forth are expected to do. And it's Mahomes. He's
Speaker 1: kind of a freak anyway. As well. We still know
Speaker 1: what's going on with Travis Kelcey. We don't know what
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to do in the draft. We
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with Rashid Rice and his
Speaker 1: potential suspension as well. But I think this is good news.
Speaker 1: And perhaps I'm not downgrading Mahomes as much as I
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be after this report, Pharaoh, So.
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes as your best ball third string quarterback book.
Speaker 1: You think, I think he will be drafted in the
Speaker 1: top fifteen this And maybe that's not even like a
Speaker 1: hot take at all, but I just feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: the way that he was performing earlier this season, how
Speaker 1: much he was running, he was doing stuff with his
Speaker 1: legs that we hadn't seen maybe ever in his NFL career,
Speaker 1: and now you get as long as positive reports keep
Speaker 1: coming out like this, then yeah, I think he's going
Speaker 1: to creep up and the fact that he could his
Speaker 1: doctors say he could be ready for week one. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's looking like kind of a bargain.
Speaker 4: And he'll be at Steinberg Super Bowl party and they
Speaker 4: can all put those microphones.
Speaker 1: In his face and ask him that same question. He
Speaker 1: might skimp that just to not you know.
Speaker 2: Just to.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that one of the things that one
Speaker 1: of the most fascinating offenses we'll be watching for as
Speaker 1: we start draft season here shortly, is what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: with Kansas City. I saw a mock draft that they
Speaker 1: take Jeremiah Love in the first round too, and so
Speaker 1: you finally get a running back on that offense. Love
Speaker 1: and mahomes boy. It could be a quick turnaround for
Speaker 1: Kansas City in twenty twenty six. Let's get into tonight's guest,
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. I want to bring him on right now.
Speaker 1: He's a multi league champion in the Kentucky Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: State Championship. He also hosts The bottom Line with Brad
Speaker 1: Taylor on ESPN Radio Linxington. He hosts Live Bet Saturday
Speaker 1: on the Vegas Sports Incremation Network and is the author
Speaker 1: of the sports gambling book Side Hustle. Please welcome live
Speaker 1: from the Vson Studios in glorious Franklin, Kentucky. Mister Brad
Speaker 1: Taylor Bred, good evening. How are you doing.
Speaker 5: Well as you can tell, fellas you are looking live
Speaker 5: at the Circus Sports Book here at Franklin, Kentucky. A
Speaker 5: very sparse crowd here tonight, but they will be packed
Speaker 5: house here tomorrow for Kentucky Tennessee basketball and then of
Speaker 5: course the NFL playoffs. So little quiet here tonight, but
Speaker 5: it's the quiet, the calm before the storm, as we
Speaker 5: like to say in the business, you like to say.
Speaker 5: But it's great here and looking forward to this fellows.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1: Absolutely glad to have you on board. Yeah, certainly everybody
Speaker 1: needs to rest up with what's going to be a
Speaker 1: big day not only in Kentucky but across the nation
Speaker 1: tomorrow with two big games Saturday and then two more
Speaker 1: big games on Sunday as well. Rad Before we get
Speaker 1: into fantasy football and start talking to you about some
Speaker 1: of these players that we're looking at this weekend, tell
Speaker 1: us what you're specifically doing over at vs IN right.
Speaker 5: Now at v SIN, I host the show along with
Speaker 5: my co host will Hill called Live Bet Saturday.
Speaker 2: And what we do is we literally I'm looking at
Speaker 2: a big bank of televisions here in the studio.
Speaker 5: We kind of watched the games. We watch the live lines.
Speaker 5: How they're kind of the live lines change as we
Speaker 5: go all the time, And yeah, what would you do now,
Speaker 5: because yeah, let's.
Speaker 2: Say a football game tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Let's say the Niners come out and score the first
Speaker 5: touchdown of the game. Would you now find some value
Speaker 5: on Seattle now? Because that line's not going to be
Speaker 5: seven or seven a half, it's going to be below
Speaker 5: that is now the time? Is that a good time
Speaker 5: to maybe live bet on Seattle in that? But yeah,
Speaker 5: it's it's Live Bet Saturday.
Speaker 2: We're looking at live lines previewing the night games and
Speaker 2: yeah it's sports talk from a gambling perspective.
Speaker 5: Here at the Circa, and I love it. It's great
Speaker 5: stuff and it keeps you on your toes. And yeah,
Speaker 5: there's a big, huge market, as you guys know, for
Speaker 5: sports gambling out there, and we are quenching the thirst
Speaker 5: here at VSI.
Speaker 4: It is a beautiful thing, Brad that you are. That
Speaker 4: you take me back in memory, Leate, and this is
Speaker 4: how I pictured you from day one. This is where
Speaker 4: I pictured you, from the moment that you expressed your
Speaker 4: ambition to be like Bulky and be a broadcast professional,
Speaker 4: and it is. It is a great thing to see you.
Speaker 4: You look wonderful. I want to you know full disclosure
Speaker 4: to the listeners. On February second, two thy fourteen, Bulky
Speaker 4: twenty fourteen. February second was the Super Bowl Sunday that
Speaker 4: that Brad Taylor accompanied me and a couple other friends
Speaker 4: to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl. We spent the
Speaker 4: weekend out there for the Super Bowl, and this was
Speaker 4: another As you recall, Brad, who were the two.
Speaker 2: Teams Broncos Seahawks. I remember that.
Speaker 4: Seahawks and Brad didn't join us for dinner on Friday
Speaker 4: night when we discussed a lot of who we thought
Speaker 4: was going to win.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 4: We all came out with the losing side except Brad.
Speaker 4: What we had essentially Balky, as they say from the
Speaker 4: Great Movie, we had a failure to communicate. But Brad
Speaker 4: was sit there with a winning ticket. And you know
Speaker 4: that's you picked winners your whole life in this world.
Speaker 4: Now tonight, what we're trying to do is go to
Speaker 4: fantasy football something near and dear to your heart, and
Speaker 4: the FFPC something equally near and dear to your heart,
Speaker 4: and the contest that is forthcoming. We want to go
Speaker 4: to Buffalo, take a look at the Bills wide receivers
Speaker 4: and see if you can work through the fact that
Speaker 4: Josh Allen continues to run his club to success in
Speaker 4: the playoffs. Who is the receiver that he's going to
Speaker 4: rely on or is it still basically anybody's guests. You
Speaker 4: know the numbers, So tell the fantasy players who they
Speaker 4: should put at receiver, not only for this weekend, who
Speaker 4: you think is going to win and who you think
Speaker 4: is going to go forward with being that best receiver
Speaker 4: through the contest.
Speaker 5: Is it the receivers or is it the tight ends,
Speaker 5: Because if you look at the question, you look at
Speaker 5: the numbers. Here at knock some kincaid right here, look
Speaker 5: at their yardage totals in the desert. A lot of times,
Speaker 5: would you have your doubting things, Go ask our friends
Speaker 5: in the desert.
Speaker 2: They know a little bit more than we do. Sometimes
Speaker 2: not a lot of this stuff. It's amazing.
Speaker 5: Sometimes we have hunches that we have the you know,
Speaker 5: the cut of their jib and the eye test but
Speaker 5: it's a lot of times the odds makers know a
Speaker 5: little bit more than us. And you look at the
Speaker 5: yardage totals for this for tomorrow's game, you got Shakira
Speaker 5: fifty two and a half. But the next two on
Speaker 5: the list are the two tight ends, Knox and Kinkaid.
Speaker 5: The one I would try to stay away from would
Speaker 5: probably be Brandon Cooks because a little bit as far
Speaker 5: as a guy who can you really trust him in
Speaker 5: this spot. He's at twenty eight and a half yards
Speaker 5: for tomorrow, but yeah, we've seen this act before with him.
Speaker 5: But for me in this game tomorrow, for the Buffalo receivers, yeah,
Speaker 5: anybody can go on Shakir, but it's the two tight ends.
Speaker 5: And if you're looking for maybe a guy that's probably
Speaker 5: not going to be on many teams, it might very
Speaker 5: well be Dawson Knox coming in here. We see both
Speaker 5: these tight ends. We know that both these Titans. Kik
Speaker 5: now both of them. They had three He had three
Speaker 5: for catches last week. But yeah, I would look at
Speaker 5: the tight ends before I would receivers, and I would
Speaker 5: be looking down upon Brandon Cooks and up on both
Speaker 5: these tight ends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you make a good point. And I
Speaker 1: think you also make a great point about Dawson Knox
Speaker 1: because if you are going to pivot off of James Cook,
Speaker 1: off of Josh Allen in this competition, I think most
Speaker 1: people would say, oh, give me the young up and
Speaker 1: coming tight end. Well, Dalton Kin kid has been mostly
Speaker 1: missed rather than hit over the course of his career,
Speaker 1: and yet Josh Allen just keeps going back to Dawson Knox. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes, especially if Buffalo loses this game, we
Speaker 1: could look at like, well, who is the Jalen Coker
Speaker 1: of this of this squad? Right, Jalen Coker blew up
Speaker 1: last week? He was the panther to own if you
Speaker 1: had him in the playoff challenge. There could be somebody
Speaker 1: like that in Buffalo, especially if the Bills are forced
Speaker 1: to pass in the fourth quarter to try to get
Speaker 1: back into the game. Knox is very very interesting flips
Speaker 1: out of they Do.
Speaker 4: We know the Coker owners percentage from last week?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I could. I can tell you right now it
Speaker 1: was super less than yeah. And in the in the
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars the world famous the Granddaddy Contest last week,
Speaker 1: Jalen Cocher was owned in twenty eight out of seven
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty teams. That is zer point three
Speaker 1: to nine percent. Cooper was owned. So crazy, That's why
Speaker 1: this challenge is so much fun. So flip side of
Speaker 1: the ball tomorrow from Buffalo Brad Denver features RJ. Harvey
Speaker 1: in the backfield. We know that Buffalo has tightened up
Speaker 1: their defense over the last month, maybe month and a half,
Speaker 1: but that rush the defense I would still not consider good.
Speaker 1: How likely is it that you see Harvey having a
Speaker 1: big game and running all over this Bills defense, especially
Speaker 1: considering that Denver probably wants to win this game with
Speaker 1: defense and running the football.
Speaker 5: When Dobbins went down I think seven weeks before the
Speaker 5: end of the season, from that point on, you would
Speaker 5: assume this is Harvey's team. And yeah, he did get
Speaker 5: a multitude of the carries, and he's one of the
Speaker 5: mainly I would say three running backs right now where
Speaker 5: I would say, yeah, he's going to get more carries
Speaker 5: than anybody else, but he only avers three point seven
Speaker 5: yards and carry the season. Yeah, you had the touchdowns,
Speaker 5: he had the twelve touchdowns to make him fantasy relevant.
Speaker 5: But in a spot like this, the desert says fifty
Speaker 5: six and a half yards for him. I'm looking to
Speaker 5: do anything here. I'm looking to go under that total.
Speaker 5: He's not a guy that I'm looking for for Dever
Speaker 5: to play. And we talked about, Yeah, rushing touchdowns for Denver.
Speaker 5: The last since Dobbins went out, he had six. Bo
Speaker 5: Knicks had five. So let's me tell you a little
Speaker 5: bit about where these numbers are going with these two
Speaker 5: with this running back not getting the ball at the
Speaker 5: goal line. So yeah, it's this is not a guy
Speaker 5: I'm looking to roster in your league.
Speaker 4: Are that's the most these matchups, it's hard to pick
Speaker 4: the one that I think is the most entertaining. I think,
Speaker 4: perhaps because I feel more engaged with the team and
Speaker 4: I've followed the players longer, the Niners game means a
Speaker 4: lot to me. I think it was about a seven
Speaker 4: and a half point line for the outcome, and I
Speaker 4: thought that was too many. I thought the game might
Speaker 4: be closer. We learned now that tight end Kittle for
Speaker 4: the Niners is not going to play. From a football perspective,
Speaker 4: I think that's a disaster for the Niners. From a
Speaker 4: fantasy perspective, I like the pass catching of the backup
Speaker 4: tight end tongus and I've always liked him and he's
Speaker 4: he's been good in the in the.
Speaker 1: In the red zone this year too, so I.
Speaker 4: But there's a probably a beneficiary on this offense, Brad
Speaker 4: that you know, Kittle's not going to get his targets.
Speaker 1: Who's going to get them?
Speaker 4: I have a favorite, but there's no use in me
Speaker 4: talking when we have Brad Taylor here.
Speaker 1: Who's it going to be?
Speaker 4: Brad, who's the guy to play from the night?
Speaker 2: Well, of course, convection it. The wisdom says it's Taugas
Speaker 2: because well it's let's just handcuff and let's just put
Speaker 2: the other guy in. Who's uh who does well with
Speaker 2: Kittles out?
Speaker 5: But it's one of these two off receivers, if Piersaw
Speaker 5: or Jennis one of these two guys. If Peersaw is healthy,
Speaker 5: it looks like he's going to be playing, I would
Speaker 5: go over the total in terms of yardage. If you're
Speaker 5: looking at props, those are the two guys piersall at
Speaker 5: Jennigs that I'm definitely looking at here. Pearsaw twenty nine
Speaker 5: and a half, Jennigs thirty nine.
Speaker 2: And a half.
Speaker 5: Those are two guys if they get the play tomorrow,
Speaker 5: especially Piersoll. I am definitely looking to take one of
Speaker 5: those receivers, and more than McCaffrey or Taugas.
Speaker 2: I think one of those two receivers really come above
Speaker 2: what they've been doing with the more opportunities with Kittle
Speaker 2: being out here.
Speaker 4: And Jenny's has had those breakout games historically, Balky, he's
Speaker 4: had some forty point games, and that's what you need
Speaker 4: in this contest, you do.
Speaker 1: And if you if you end up getting that, that
Speaker 1: really baults you to the at least to the top,
Speaker 1: not to the very top of the leader board, but
Speaker 1: near at a minimum, near the top of the leaderboard,
Speaker 1: which is what you need. I will say the two
Speaker 1: games against Seattle this year, and this is a little
Speaker 1: bit misleading because I think Kittle played in the first
Speaker 1: one two catches sixteen yards for Jennings four catches for
Speaker 1: thirty five yards in the game at the end of
Speaker 1: the season. But to Pararell's point, I mean he's popped
Speaker 1: off this year nine for seventy one in a touch
Speaker 1: against the Rams, part six or seventy one in a
Speaker 1: touch against the Rams. He had that five catch for
Speaker 1: eighty nine yard performance against the Saints earlier this year
Speaker 1: found the end zone nine times this year did Juwan Jennings.
Speaker 1: So certainly there is some pop off potential with Juwan Jennings,
Speaker 1: not only this week, but if the Niners keep moving on,
Speaker 1: they'll be trusting Jennings because Kittl won't be back for
Speaker 1: the remainder of the postseason. Okay, the other team in
Speaker 1: that game, Brad, is the Seattle Seahawks. Rather than wax
Speaker 1: poetic about how great the league's leading receiver Jackson Smith
Speaker 1: and Jigba is, let's focus in on the backfield here.
Speaker 1: If you are looking for a hard pivot off of
Speaker 1: JSN and you decide it's going to be a Seahawks
Speaker 1: running back, do you have an inkling of Sharboney or
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, not only which one is better this week
Speaker 1: against San Francisco, but also moving on to the NFC
Speaker 1: Championship and the Super Bowl. The Seahawks are lucky enough
Speaker 1: to get that far.
Speaker 5: I will ask you about the ownership of Charbonay compared
Speaker 5: to Walker last week?
Speaker 2: Do you have that number on me?
Speaker 5: Because I think that the big difference the ownership numbers
Speaker 5: with these two guys in your contest.
Speaker 1: It was very, very close between those two between those
Speaker 1: two running backs last week, and both of them were
Speaker 1: super down two point one percent for Charboney, two point
Speaker 1: zero percent for Kenneth Walker. So basically, I'll narrow it
Speaker 1: down like this. Out of two hundred and fifty teams Brad,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty three of them had Walker, I
Speaker 1: had Scharbonay beg your pardon, and one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: eight of them had Walker. Wow.
Speaker 5: That's very interesting to me because you would think conventional
Speaker 5: wisdom would say, well, it's Walker because he's going to
Speaker 5: get more. But I think Charbonay would be my play,
Speaker 5: especially if you're looking to maybe get some value. But
Speaker 5: when you say those roster are the roster spots are
Speaker 5: so even, it's kind of something where you're looking at
Speaker 5: it and say, wow, do I really get the value
Speaker 5: with Sharboney over Walker. Here here's a spot where yeah,
Speaker 5: it's it's half a dozen of the other and six
Speaker 5: of one. But yeah, I think I would be taking
Speaker 5: Charbonay going forward in this mainly because I know that
Speaker 5: he's gonna have a little bit more value and quite
Speaker 5: possibly maybe he'll get a little bit extra in terms
Speaker 5: of the you'll get some roster value with him. But yeah,
Speaker 5: this is one where it's Sharbonnet over Walker for me.
Speaker 5: But I think I might be in the split minority
Speaker 5: on that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we said that the forty nine ers would be okay,
Speaker 4: we tight end. From this fantasy perspective, I don't think
Speaker 4: that there's anyone that's going to supplement what Nico Collins did.
Speaker 4: I don't think you can replace Nico Collins. There's complimentary
Speaker 4: players and receivers, there's good youth receivers. But for this contest, Brad,
Speaker 4: who's going to step up and help Stroud in a
Speaker 4: pass catching aspect? Could it be the tight end who's
Speaker 4: at a quiet but productive at least from our contest perspective, season,
Speaker 4: you still want to stick with tight ends here? Do
Speaker 4: you want to look somewhere else in that receiving corps
Speaker 4: for a big game?
Speaker 5: It's very I don't think the odds makers know either,
Speaker 5: because if you look at the yardage totals, kirk Is
Speaker 5: thirty nine and a half, Schultz thirty nine and a half,
Speaker 5: Higgets thirty seven and a half, Hutchinson thirty and a half.
Speaker 2: I don't think they know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 5: The odds makers, because everybody's right around the same number here.
Speaker 5: For my money, yeah, the value is on Hutchinson if
Speaker 5: you're looking to play him long term. Maybe that's with
Speaker 5: Houston getting a one with a you know, with a
Speaker 5: one and out kind of situation here.
Speaker 2: But I think the.
Speaker 5: Value is all going to get to value with Kirk obviously,
Speaker 5: but I think Hutchinson would be the play that I
Speaker 5: would make to kind of be maybe under the radar
Speaker 5: and hope you get something out of this, because the
Speaker 5: desert's telling us there's they don't really know what's gonna
Speaker 5: happen here. And I don't think I want to trust
Speaker 5: Schultz as much as I trust those Buffalo tied as
Speaker 5: this week.
Speaker 1: The roster ship last week, and I know this is
Speaker 1: skewed because Nico Collins, you know, was healthy and he
Speaker 1: was not can cost heading into this. But as far
Speaker 1: as the non Collins receivers go for Houston, it was
Speaker 1: Jaden Higgins owned in point one and Christian Kirk, Xavier Hutchinson,
Speaker 1: and Jalen Nole combined to be rostered on exactly zero
Speaker 1: teams in the FFPC Playoff Challenge this past week, which
Speaker 1: is which is crazy. I threw it up there before
Speaker 1: I threw up the stat. I'll throw it up there again.
Speaker 1: More people rostered Buffalo's backup kicker Matthew Wright and roster Christians,
Speaker 1: which apparently was a mistake. Apparently so.
Speaker 5: Well we know these things. It's incredible, you know, we
Speaker 5: all think we can going into these games.
Speaker 2: We all think we know, we don't know anything, and
Speaker 2: sometimes we really don't.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes it so fun, you know, because
Speaker 1: like we can talk about this to death, and and
Speaker 1: certainly we could kind of win on the margins. In fact,
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about that with you, Brad later on.
Speaker 1: We can try to win on the margin as much
Speaker 1: as we can, but ultimately, it's it's a it's a
Speaker 1: it's a wild team game played with a weird shape ball.
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff happens, happens all the time. Is crazy stuff
Speaker 1: going to happen in the New England backfield this past
Speaker 1: or this coming weekend against these Texans. It's Ramandre Stevenson
Speaker 1: and Trevion Henderson that dominate touches back there. Henderson the
Speaker 1: more the young explosive player that I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people want to roster. But I'm almost wondering that
Speaker 1: with the usage that Ramandre Stevenson's seen with who his
Speaker 1: head coach and who his offensive coordinator are. I wonder
Speaker 1: if after the Patriots postseason run is over, whether that's
Speaker 1: this weekend or maybe in February, we'll look back and say, gee,
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't want to roster Ramandre Stevenson, but
Speaker 1: it turned out that was the guy I should have
Speaker 1: been rostering for the Patriots. Do you have a favorite
Speaker 1: in this backfield for this challenge? Brad?
Speaker 5: We saw that game last week with the Patriots and
Speaker 5: they were never behind in that game. Yet none of
Speaker 5: these running backs got more than got double digit carries.
Speaker 5: Nobody got more than ted carries. What were they doing?
Speaker 5: Why were they not used a little bit more? These
Speaker 5: running backs? And if you look at a spot like this,
Speaker 5: you go to the desert, what do they say about
Speaker 5: yards from scrimmage? Here Henderson fifty one and a half,
Speaker 5: Stevenson fifty three and a half.
Speaker 2: I don't think they know what they're doing.
Speaker 5: And this one either, here's a spot where for me, yeah,
Speaker 5: we saw Stevenson, you know, ten for sixty in that one,
Speaker 5: but you know fifty three of those yards were you know,
Speaker 5: he is fifty three were second on the team to
Speaker 5: dre May last week. Here's a spot where, yeah, I
Speaker 5: think I'm gonna take the Henderson, but it's a spot
Speaker 5: where not even the desert really knows what to do here.
Speaker 5: If you've got inside information on this one, I suggest
Speaker 5: going for it. But I'm just suggesting this one because
Speaker 5: I think maybe he'll get more goal line carries. But
Speaker 5: if you're looking for a receiver, Stevenson is definitely your guy.
Speaker 1: Fare a lot of ques, Oh go ahead, fair. I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, are you team Stevenson er team
Speaker 1: Henderson in this.
Speaker 4: It's impossible to figure out if you think, and this
Speaker 4: is this great quarterback that throws the ball downfield as
Speaker 4: such great downfield accuracy. I think that's I think that's
Speaker 4: where the opposition can be beat this weekend. And if
Speaker 4: they get ahead and they get some points up on them,
Speaker 4: whichever running back has the hot hand could get fed
Speaker 4: the ball and they could separate. Henderson is the big
Speaker 4: play guy, Stevenson is the dependable player. I like Henderson
Speaker 4: better as an athlete, But you know, Brad's right, they
Speaker 4: this is too tough to call. So you know, all
Speaker 4: we're doing for the listeners is we're saying, you know,
Speaker 4: the best guess this does. Really, we haven't come up
Speaker 4: with anything since Brad seemed to came in with the
Speaker 4: tight ends, and it just shows how vexing this situation is.
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you somebody that's not vexing a team
Speaker 4: that's not vexed in the Los Angeles Rams. You know, Brad,
Speaker 4: when we consider about who who you want to start
Speaker 4: with the Rams? An old expression that you'll be familiar with,
Speaker 4: I would tell you come on in.
Speaker 1: Brad.
Speaker 4: Water's fine because they're mighty mighty good with the Rams.
Speaker 4: Who's it gonna be Adams or Nikoua? You know you
Speaker 4: think of Nicoua. And one of the stats that I
Speaker 4: discovered this week is something you don't think about receivers.
Speaker 4: He has four hundred plus yards after contact. This guy
Speaker 4: runs better than the running backs. I love this Adams
Speaker 4: down around the goal line. Fantastic. Is Adam's a sneaky
Speaker 4: play because of his scoring possibilities. I just I think
Speaker 4: this team just rolls all over the Bears, and the
Speaker 4: pois Bread doesn't suggest that, but I suggest that. I
Speaker 4: think I know that. I think that's what I see
Speaker 4: happening here.
Speaker 1: What do you see?
Speaker 2: I wish I saw that craps table over there so
Speaker 2: I can get down a field bet.
Speaker 5: That's you're going a craps table down there. Oh, there's
Speaker 5: not a craft table out here.
Speaker 4: I thought that was false average I ball. Did you
Speaker 4: hear that? That was fake news emanating fake news emanating
Speaker 4: from the studio. I'm shocked that we But.
Speaker 2: We don't have the crafts tables here yet.
Speaker 5: But the point is, if there was a field bet
Speaker 5: down there, I could guarantee you the water would be
Speaker 5: fine for me to jump in there on that one.
Speaker 5: I also would say, are we looking at the end
Speaker 5: of Davonte Adams because we all remember the touchdowns he
Speaker 5: got fourteen of those this year, But we kind of
Speaker 5: saw this a couple of years ago with Cooper Cup
Speaker 5: as well. And yeah, Davante Adams is only thirty three
Speaker 5: years old, but he averaged fifteen games this year, four
Speaker 5: catches fifty seven yards, So it's not like, you know,
Speaker 5: other than those fourteen touchdowns, what is he really done
Speaker 5: for this team?
Speaker 2: I am down on Adams.
Speaker 5: His number here is to go fifty five and a
Speaker 5: half yards on this one. Yeah, he got the fourteen
Speaker 5: and a half the fourteen touchdowns, but I'm looking to
Speaker 5: go under on him. It is super Flyed, Nakopa or
Speaker 5: nobody in this one, so it's yeah, this is a spot.
Speaker 5: I don't think Davontae Adams is the guy you want
Speaker 5: to trust here, just banking on those touchdowns that haven't
Speaker 5: done any think he only you know, he hasn't scored
Speaker 5: since November, So that's something to kind of look at
Speaker 5: with this guy.
Speaker 1: Hey, Fellas checking out.
Speaker 4: We're in the second show of the year and certainly.
Speaker 1: Not the league year.
Speaker 4: I don't know what show this is, Baulky number fifty something,
Speaker 4: whatever it is, but uh, finally Fenton has checked in, Brad.
Speaker 4: See you bring out all the old school guys. Fenton
Speaker 4: jumps in here in uniform to make your comment. Jerry,
Speaker 4: he's he's going in with He's going in with Stevenson.
Speaker 4: I don't get to ask questions about Colston Loveland anymore, Brad,
Speaker 4: but Balky.
Speaker 1: Will do it for him. Just real quick on Adams
Speaker 1: before we get to Loveland. Dude had thirteen targets last
Speaker 1: week and pretty much I think the target share with
Speaker 1: Adams and Nakua combined last week was like seventy something percent.
Speaker 1: So it's a highly concentrated passing game, and I don't
Speaker 1: think that changes against the Bears this week. Thirteen targets,
Speaker 1: he only catches five of them, and quite frankly, did
Speaker 1: not look all that great. I don't think he passed
Speaker 1: the eye test for me in that game to And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the eight targets that he missed were
Speaker 1: all his fault, but some of them were bad, and
Speaker 1: I wonder if he is actually playing a little bit
Speaker 1: hurt right now. I will say this just to wrap
Speaker 1: up this the Rams offense. There are people that are
Speaker 1: I think nervous about the Rams offense playing in this
Speaker 1: very which and it's gonna be very cold at Soldier Field,
Speaker 1: and they're nervous about these you know, southern California boys
Speaker 1: coming into playing this. And I'm like, you know, Stafford
Speaker 1: played in the NFC North for how many years? DeVante
Speaker 1: Adams played in Green Bay for how many years? Blake Korum,
Speaker 1: Kien Williams, those guys played at Michigan and Notre Dame
Speaker 1: like they've played in plenty of cold weather before. So
Speaker 1: I don't I think the weather thing is a little
Speaker 1: bit overrated, And I think the the leaky Chicago defense
Speaker 1: is gonna help him out a little bit too as well.
Speaker 1: So I'm not all that concerned about Now, the Rams
Speaker 1: could lose that game, but I'm not all that concerned
Speaker 1: about the Rams uh not being able to put up
Speaker 1: points in that game. Okay, moving on to the Chicago offense.
Speaker 1: Here Brad Taylor from the Vson Studios in Franklin, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: the likelihood of Colston Loveland continuing this massive hot streak
Speaker 1: against the Rams. I'm hearing people talk about him being
Speaker 1: the tight end three in dynasty and maybe in redraft
Speaker 1: leagues next year. Everything he has done over the course
Speaker 1: of the last three or four weeks keeps moving him
Speaker 1: up people's draft boards for twenty twenty six. Brad, is
Speaker 1: this going to continue against the Rams and perhaps maybe
Speaker 1: even in the NFC Championship Game or day, I say,
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl as well.
Speaker 5: I thank you for answering that was going to be
Speaker 5: my question, where did you guys see Loveland going next
Speaker 5: year in these drafts? Because I would think, off the
Speaker 5: top of my head, this is a top five tight
Speaker 5: end going again the next year, and the fact that
Speaker 5: you are saying this is the top three, well, it
Speaker 5: makes me feel little better about what I'm thinking here.
Speaker 5: Last eleven games, he's averaged five for sixty seven here
Speaker 5: and the Bears have gotten twenty one touchdowns in those
Speaker 5: eleven games, and he's got six of them.
Speaker 2: So Coleston Loveland.
Speaker 5: Is a He is a guy right now, he's over
Speaker 5: under the desert fifty seven and a half. I do
Speaker 5: not like going over on a lot of players. Heck,
Speaker 5: I'm looking to go under on Puka Nakoua at one
Speaker 5: hundred and one yards for tomorrow. But here's a guy
Speaker 5: in Loveland. This might be a guy that I'm looking
Speaker 5: to go over. The Rams allowed ninety two catches and
Speaker 5: seven touchdowns to tight ends this year, but a little
Speaker 5: worse than average, but it's not it's not the worst,
Speaker 5: but it's the worse than average. Yeah, I'm going over
Speaker 5: on Colson Loveland.
Speaker 2: A good tight end pickup for your league.
Speaker 4: I love that Jake Vleich, he got his you know
Speaker 4: he was there first book. He was the first guy
Speaker 4: that really really was behind Loveland, one of one of
Speaker 4: our fine players. When Brad Taylor returns to the friendly
Speaker 4: combines of Caesar, Southern Indiana for the KFWSC Draft, you'll
Speaker 4: get to meet some of these some of these cats
Speaker 4: you know walk Do you remember the Big Payback League
Speaker 4: where Brad got a standing ovation when we were in
Speaker 4: the seventeenth round and he did not have a quarterback
Speaker 4: yet and he selected a kicker before his quarterback and
Speaker 4: there was there was a huge ovation for the contrarian.
Speaker 4: So that the part of the question that I now
Speaker 4: come with that I know we're gonna get brilliance from
Speaker 4: is who is the contrarian play? Who do you not
Speaker 4: need in your roster? Who are guys going to be
Speaker 4: rostering at big numbers if you don't want to put
Speaker 4: him in your roster. In this contest, you've already talked
Speaker 4: about some guys that you don't want to have, like,
Speaker 4: for instance, Adams would have been a great answer to
Speaker 4: this question, but we've already burned that one. So now
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to come with something fresh Brad Taylor.
Speaker 4: And then who's a guy that you just can't leave out?
Speaker 4: It's not gonna happen for you. I think it's JSN.
Speaker 1: Who do you think it is?
Speaker 5: I think the guy this week we talked about him
Speaker 5: is Brad died Cooks. I think he's getting a lot
Speaker 5: more publicity and a lot more credit that he's deserving
Speaker 5: than those numbers are going to go to those tight
Speaker 5: ends Knocks and uh yeah, Knocks and Kincaid. That's where
Speaker 5: I'm banking on a guy I don't want. Brandon Cooks
Speaker 5: getting some publicity this week. That's a guy I don't want.
Speaker 5: A guy I do want. Maybe there's a kind of
Speaker 5: sleeper dark horse either one of those San Francisco receivers.
Speaker 5: So when I say either one of them, either Pearsaw
Speaker 5: or Jennings. If Pearsaw is healthy, go with him. If
Speaker 5: it's not, it's Jennings. Because those that those kittle numbers
Speaker 5: have to go somewhere. And you could say Tonga is
Speaker 5: all you want to but those two receivers are going
Speaker 5: to be the ones who are going to pick up
Speaker 5: the money for those. But if you're just looking for
Speaker 5: the chalky mcchalkerson play, that'll get you somewhere in this league.
Speaker 5: I don't know about you, guys, but it's if you
Speaker 5: think Buffalo is going to go all the way, it's got.
Speaker 2: To be Josh Allen.
Speaker 5: That is as shalky as it goes, That is as
Speaker 5: a square as it gets. As we like to say,
Speaker 5: that's the one guy where if you think Buffalo is
Speaker 5: going to win this thing, that's the one guy you
Speaker 5: probably need.
Speaker 4: Let's roll that back to this game. Do you think
Speaker 4: Buffalo is gonna win this game?
Speaker 5: I'm I'm going with Denver and this is a market
Speaker 5: game because we saw.
Speaker 4: Both That's what he does, Bulky, That's exactly what he does,
Speaker 4: and so you can now write it down that Denver
Speaker 4: is gonna win.
Speaker 1: You you to the sports.
Speaker 5: But yeah, remember when you're right fifty three percent of
Speaker 5: the time, you're wrong forty seven percent of the time.
Speaker 2: Never forget that. But that's what do you see. I
Speaker 2: wish it, I wish it, ware get more. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be sitting here right now, Pharaoh. I'd be on my
Speaker 2: yacht somewhere out in the ocean.
Speaker 4: But brother, you are on You're in a place more
Speaker 4: suited for you than any type of luxury living on
Speaker 4: a yacht's.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I'll take the yacht. I
Speaker 2: love it here. But man, you go to give me
Speaker 2: the yacht, I'll take that.
Speaker 5: But it's the dog to favorite line move, especially this
Speaker 5: time of year, when you see the money on one side,
Speaker 5: which is on Buffalo. Yet the line moves the other way,
Speaker 5: the reverse line move and it's become a dog that's
Speaker 5: become the favorite and vice versa. That's the market in
Speaker 5: the sharp's telling me that's a play for Denver.
Speaker 1: Just going back to the Niners here, real quick. Ricky
Speaker 1: Pearsall did not practice at all heading into the game
Speaker 1: last week against Philadelphia. This week, he's gotten in a
Speaker 1: limited practice every day. He's officially listed as questionable. He
Speaker 1: told the press that in that big, high scoring Bears
Speaker 1: game in week seventeen, he got tackled and landed right
Speaker 1: on his knee, and he said he can't take tackles
Speaker 1: like that right now. He said he's got to just
Speaker 1: the way he plays a little bit, which is not
Speaker 1: what you want to hear. But this is an all
Speaker 1: hands on deck situation, all hands except for George Kittle's hands,
Speaker 1: who will not be playing this week. So that's what
Speaker 1: we're looking at with Pearsall. The dizzle chiming in Pearsall
Speaker 1: is never healthy. It certain seems that way right now,
Speaker 1: So it could be a big Jennings week. I want
Speaker 1: to go back, just real quick, Brad, before our final
Speaker 1: question for you, I think Fenton had a question here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll throw it up on the screen right now. He
Speaker 1: wants to know which tight end goes big this week
Speaker 1: for the Rams. So we've been talking about Puka Nakua,
Speaker 1: We've been talking about Williams Quorum, Davante Adams. We had
Speaker 1: a conversation about what if you wanted to do the
Speaker 1: uber pitvot and move to a Rams tight end in
Speaker 1: this tight end premium scoring format that the FFPC Playoff
Speaker 1: challenge to is, do you have an inklick on which
Speaker 1: Rams tight end you'd want to put a chip on,
Speaker 1: not only this weekend, but maybe going forward in the postseason.
Speaker 5: Brad conventional wisdom once again says it's Higby right, because
Speaker 5: we've heard that day when he had a decent week
Speaker 5: last week. But I don't think there's much difference in
Speaker 5: either one of these tight ends for the Rams. Higby
Speaker 5: his number of the desert right now is twenty two
Speaker 5: and a half to kind of put his numbers up
Speaker 5: there in this one. So yeah, is that something that
Speaker 5: is going to make or break your team? I'm not
Speaker 5: so sure, But yeah, here's the spot where I think maybe,
Speaker 5: just maybe, if you're looking to get maybe somebody off
Speaker 5: the radar. Parkinson might be your guy and the spot
Speaker 5: where he's not getting as many yards in terms of
Speaker 5: what the desert's saying, but the desert is also saying, yeah,
Speaker 5: he's getting twenty and a half yards here in the
Speaker 5: desert is Parkinson?
Speaker 1: So not Parkisan's at all on bulky favorite too?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say all time, but maybe maybe I don't know, Brad.
Speaker 1: We also have another question from the Dizzel Dave Gerzak.
Speaker 1: Do you remember who you ended up with at quarterback
Speaker 1: in that big payback league? He took a kicker before him.
Speaker 1: I also be curious to know who the kicker was
Speaker 1: if you remember.
Speaker 2: I can't go back that. Yeah, I can't remember what
Speaker 2: I had for lunch today, much less I.
Speaker 4: Think it was an interesting waiver wire year.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was.
Speaker 5: But when it got in those leagues is because everybody
Speaker 5: there was sharp. I mean, it wasn't like you had
Speaker 5: any squares of that league. Everybody was so sharp. So
Speaker 5: why go with the conventional wisdom and go right down
Speaker 5: the line picking running backs and receivers, mix it up
Speaker 5: and just wait for quarterbacks and just do something different?
Speaker 5: Because you know I'm not going to follow the rest
Speaker 5: of the sheep to the slaughterhouse. I mean that's a
Speaker 5: if you're you know you're gonna lose a lot, But
Speaker 5: every once in a while you'll puff that winner in
Speaker 5: and that'll do it for you. But I'm mean it's yeah,
Speaker 5: it's when it comes to fantasy book. I mean, I
Speaker 5: love fantasy football just.
Speaker 2: Like you guys do.
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's following the rest of the sheep sometimes
Speaker 5: does not equal winning, and sometimes being different does.
Speaker 2: But sometimes is the key word there.
Speaker 1: So I think the other thing I wanted to bring
Speaker 1: up here is before we let you get on and
Speaker 1: enjoy the rest of your evening. Here brad side hustle
Speaker 1: how squares like us in the real world can improve
Speaker 1: our bottom line and compete with the sharps in the
Speaker 1: world of sports gambling. This book has been out for
Speaker 1: about two and a half years or so, available on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Give our viewers and our listeners a taste of what
Speaker 1: is in this book.
Speaker 5: Well it miraculously the timing it came out right when
Speaker 5: sports gambling became legal of Kentucky.
Speaker 2: It was amazing how that happened.
Speaker 5: But what we were trying to do is kind of
Speaker 5: teach the squares like us, you know, trying to figure
Speaker 5: out what makes the sharps, what makes them sharp, what
Speaker 5: do they do differently than us? And you know, it's
Speaker 5: a lot of things about it's not always most important
Speaker 5: to pick winners.
Speaker 2: You know, we mismanage.
Speaker 5: Our money, we get we let emotions take over our gambling.
Speaker 5: It's not always the kind of thing where, you know,
Speaker 5: just picking people could get fifty three percent winners for
Speaker 5: a period of time and still lose money because they're
Speaker 5: not betting the right way and playing parlays. Fool's gold
Speaker 5: is the parlays, but people are always infatuated by it.
Speaker 5: So it's just trying little tidbits and systems you know
Speaker 5: that I like to play, especially in the NFL, to
Speaker 5: the windy unders and division unders, division dogs, things like that,
Speaker 5: things that have worked over decades that we kind of
Speaker 5: put in the book, and little tricks that the sharps
Speaker 5: do that we need to learn to do better because.
Speaker 2: It's very hard.
Speaker 5: This sports gamling thing is very difficult to do long term.
Speaker 4: You know, and bulky in all walks of life now
Speaker 4: there's proposition plays on all types of things, like for instance,
Speaker 4: I am big bet on the fact that I will
Speaker 4: receive an autograph copy of the book delivered.
Speaker 1: To my home.
Speaker 4: The over and under was three years and I had
Speaker 4: the under, but I'm still waiting for that. I'm still
Speaker 4: waiting to cast ticket, Balky, And you know probably probably
Speaker 4: you know it's it's probably the same cost to send
Speaker 4: too as it is one Halkey is spelled b A
Speaker 4: F A y, so it brad just you know, any time.
Speaker 4: But yeah, we we want to be proponents of that book,
Speaker 4: but we we require that for I've got a spot
Speaker 4: in there on my bookshelf for it.
Speaker 1: I cleared it out, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, in your in your comic book section? Is
Speaker 2: that what you're going.
Speaker 4: It's gonna set, you know, it's it's gonna set right
Speaker 4: next to my autograph copy of the the great Jim
Speaker 4: Murray's from the La Times, the contributions that he made
Speaker 4: to that paper, and that I've got a book that
Speaker 4: breaks down some of his best columns.
Speaker 1: And you're going right now next to Hims. There's a
Speaker 1: nice place waiting for you.
Speaker 4: Balky's gonna put his up the next picture that Seinfeld
Speaker 4: back there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's great. Yeah, I gotta I gotta redo
Speaker 1: my background. It doesn't look nearly as cool as Brad's
Speaker 1: The Last of the Best, a nineteen ninety eight book
Speaker 1: about Jim Murray, or with all Jim Murray's column. So
Speaker 1: there you go, Carrol. The name of the book for
Speaker 1: Brad is Side Hustle. Get it now Amazon dot com.
Speaker 1: I got the link up on the screen. You can
Speaker 1: just simply go on Amazon search side Hustle Brad Taylor.
Speaker 1: You'll find it there as well, and just enjoy sports
Speaker 1: gambling a little bit more. Thanks to one mister Taylor,
Speaker 1: the vsin host and analyst who was good enough to
Speaker 1: grace us with his presence tonight. And thank you so
Speaker 1: much for giving your insight not only on the divisional games,
Speaker 1: but the rest of the way. We'll get you out
Speaker 1: the door, Brad with a Super Bowl prediction. Do you
Speaker 1: have a feeling on which teams are going to meet
Speaker 1: for all the marbles come February?
Speaker 5: Well, when I talked to Pharaoll last week, I said
Speaker 5: Buffalo or excuse me, I said Rams and Jacksonville. I
Speaker 5: said get the Jacksonville receiver is a big dark horse.
Speaker 5: So once again it tells you that we don't know
Speaker 5: what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: He scored well, he scored well, and in that tournament,
Speaker 4: you know, you had to have a player from every team,
Speaker 4: So yeah, said, well no you didn't, Bulky, you did.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's still for me. It's still rams.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be rams and bills for me, or excuse me,
Speaker 5: rams and Broncos for me, and that would be the
Speaker 5: thing you can get right now. But I think that's
Speaker 5: about fourteen to one for the actual exact to get
Speaker 5: to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: So that's what I would say.
Speaker 5: But once again, remember when you're right fifty three percent
Speaker 5: of the time, you're on forty seven percent of the time,
Speaker 5: and even more so at future bets.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's another sting altogether, Brad.
Speaker 1: We will continue to watch your career blow up. We
Speaker 1: will listen to you, we will watch you at at
Speaker 1: VS and of course follow you on the X at
Speaker 1: bottom line, Lex, thank you so much, enjoy the games tomorrow,
Speaker 1: don't be a stranger. We'll talk with you again soon.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys so much. I would not be sitting
Speaker 2: here right now if it was if it was not
Speaker 2: for one Pararell Elliott, So I am grateful to him.
Speaker 5: That's true story, that's absolute true story. I would not
Speaker 5: be sitting here right now. So thank you farrelh and
Speaker 5: guys as always until the next time, made the winners
Speaker 5: be yours.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank.
Speaker 1: You you as well. Thank you Brad Taylor. Ladies and
Speaker 1: gentlemen Hopping aboard tonight the Vson host and analysts bottom
Speaker 1: line les get his book Side Hustle Buy one Brad
Speaker 1: Taylor on Amazon dot com. Good stuff from Brad Tonight,
Speaker 1: always good stuff. Always love chopping it up with Brad.
Speaker 1: And you know it's funny, Parah, you bring up that
Speaker 1: big payback story. I do remember because I wasn't in
Speaker 1: that draft, but the draft that was in had gotten
Speaker 1: over with or was getting close to being the end,
Speaker 1: and I just saw the big applause at the table
Speaker 1: over at the big payback table. I'm like, what the
Speaker 1: Hell's going on over there? And then I found out
Speaker 1: that he took a kicker before a quarterback. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that is my guy right there. That is just roared
Speaker 1: with Taylor.
Speaker 2: Pararel.
Speaker 1: Let's get to a few email tonight. Uh, let's I
Speaker 1: think they're all playoff change. Yeah, they're all playoff challenge ones.
Speaker 1: Mike and Anderson. North Carolina leads off tonight, what's up, guys?
Speaker 1: Any receivers not named Courtland Sutton worth using in the
Speaker 1: playoff challenge? Number two? And before everybody says uh, and Mike,
Speaker 1: thinking for the email for everybody says well, why would
Speaker 1: you consider a non Broncos or non Courtland Sutton Broncos receiver?
Speaker 1: I have four words for you, Jalen Coker, Christian Kirk.
Speaker 1: That's why we talk about these receivers. There's Mims, there's Bryant,
Speaker 1: there's Franklin. Obviously Sutton is going to be the highest
Speaker 1: owned guy, Farrell. Is there any value in any one
Speaker 1: of these other three Broncos receivers in an eighteen lineup
Speaker 1: this weekend?
Speaker 4: My favorite has been the one that I counted on
Speaker 4: throughout the year. Let's go with Franklin's. That's that's who
Speaker 4: I like.
Speaker 1: Franklin is probably the guy I would choose. It's hard
Speaker 1: to go with the rookie. And then Marvin Mims just
Speaker 1: not involved enough. He wasn't owned at all in any
Speaker 1: of the two hundred dollars the five hundred came lineups
Speaker 1: last week. Pat Bryant point one four, Troy Sutton or
Speaker 1: Troy Sutton. Troy Franklin was point sixty three, so he
Speaker 1: had the highest He was the highest owned Broncos receiver
Speaker 1: not named Courtland Sutton. I think that's who I go
Speaker 1: with as well. You have some big play potential. There's
Speaker 1: also a decent floor there, and you just hope that
Speaker 1: if the Broncos keep advancing somehow he does find his
Speaker 1: way into the end zone a couple of times and
Speaker 1: it might make all the difference in the world and
Speaker 1: cashing that one hundred thousand dollars grand prize. Moving on
Speaker 1: to our next email, we go to Garfield Heights, Ohio.
Speaker 1: Dennis is there and he writes, if Seattle gets to
Speaker 1: the Bowl, how good of a play is Sam Donald?
Speaker 1: If everyone else's rostering? JSN, thanks so much. We talked
Speaker 1: about this earlier. Farrell. I'm a weak man. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I could do it, but certainly if my
Speaker 1: team is within striking distance on Super Bowl Sunday, and
Speaker 1: seemingly everybody has Jackson Smith and Jigba in front of me,
Speaker 1: but I'm the only one with Sam Donald. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at it from the standpoint, like you know, they do
Speaker 1: have Cooper Cup, they do have the running backs, they
Speaker 1: do have a j Barner. It is possible for Donald
Speaker 1: to throw touchdowns, not to Smith and Jigba. There is
Speaker 1: something to be said for that. If you're doing one lineup,
Speaker 1: first of all, don't do one lineup, do multiple. It's
Speaker 1: much more and if but if you're doing multiples, I
Speaker 1: was talking with Pat Fitzmorris about this last night. He said, Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I'm doing multiple lineups in this challenge, Donald is
Speaker 1: gonna be on one or two. I think ken Ford
Speaker 1: said the same thing on the road of his High
Speaker 1: Stakes Lowdowns on Tuesday, that that you gotta find a
Speaker 1: way if you're doing multiple lineups. If Seattle gets all
Speaker 1: the way there, you're gonna want to have Donald on
Speaker 1: a couple of these lineups.
Speaker 2: Not a lot.
Speaker 1: You want that do you want? You want a dog
Speaker 1: in that fight, and Donald could be that dog.
Speaker 4: You want a chance to have that quarterback in the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. You look at this opponent and what Jay
Speaker 4: is in does best is really what the Niners have
Speaker 4: the most trouble with and so big strikes downfield, catching
Speaker 4: the ball in stride. Uh, there's a lot of confusion
Speaker 4: in that secondary from time to time. Uh, there's there's
Speaker 4: better play. One of the linebackers is coming back. There's
Speaker 4: better play those defensive those defensive tackles are good play
Speaker 4: with that secondary man. And I just I think j
Speaker 4: s In just has another big game and.
Speaker 1: It's all right.
Speaker 4: It all runs through him and the quarterback now, who's
Speaker 4: somewhat compromised physically. I just I think that you know,
Speaker 4: if you have a Seattle player, which you will, it
Speaker 4: needs to be.
Speaker 1: In the lineups last week and the five hundred k
Speaker 1: nine out of every ten lineups featured Smith and Jigba
Speaker 1: in them, So certainly they're and you do I said this.
Speaker 1: I talked with Partial Chef about this and talked to
Speaker 1: Ken Ford about this. The last couple of weeks, guys
Speaker 1: who have cashed in the divisional round, guys who cashed
Speaker 1: and won the whole playoff challenge. In Chef's case, they said,
Speaker 1: you got to eat chalk and most of your lineup,
Speaker 1: it's just that one or two, maybe three spots that
Speaker 1: you got to hit on the right pivots, and that's
Speaker 1: how you win the big money. Maybe Smith and Jigba
Speaker 1: is just a guy that you put in your lineup.
Speaker 1: You hope for the best, and you move on and
Speaker 1: try to find pivots elsewhere. Let's move on to New England. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're talking with one Jim in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Who's the
Speaker 1: better play in the playoff Challenge too? For New England
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs or Hunter Henry. You might be surprised to
Speaker 1: know that in the five hundred K challenge last week,
Speaker 1: ownership looked like nineteen percent for Stefan Diggs and for
Speaker 1: one Hunter Henry tight end premium he was at sixteen percent.
Speaker 1: So the FFPC players last week said that Diggs is
Speaker 1: a slight thing farrel Do you agree with them? In
Speaker 1: this challenge this week? Should Digs be the guy over Henry?
Speaker 4: I like several of the tight ends and this challenge,
Speaker 4: but Henry is the touchdown dependent player. If it was
Speaker 4: a one game thing, I'm going with Diggs. Since I
Speaker 4: expect this team to continue to win, I'm going with Henry.
Speaker 4: So you think if you think that the Patriots are
Speaker 4: one more game and done, I think Digs should be
Speaker 4: your player. But if you think the Pats have the
Speaker 4: long game here to get to the super Bowl, I
Speaker 4: think you should.
Speaker 1: Go with Henry. I Henry caught sixty sixty balls this year,
Speaker 1: so he's not just some you know, pivot slouch. We're
Speaker 1: going to like, there's a reason that he's significant in
Speaker 1: not only last week's challenge, but this week's challenge as well.
Speaker 4: Ever since the Titan Whisperer came on the show and
Speaker 4: whispered Henry his his entire career has blossomed to get.
Speaker 1: Uh, you said you like several tight ends in the challenge.
Speaker 1: I could think of three. I like, who else do
Speaker 1: you like? I would say Loveland, Schultz and Henry. What
Speaker 1: are there any other guys that you like besides those three? Well?
Speaker 1: I liked Angus, I like.
Speaker 4: The Yeah, that's that's that's well.
Speaker 1: I like your guy from the Rams, Parkinson. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I could see that as as well. And and again
Speaker 1: I think that you know, you don't want to tie
Speaker 1: with you know, thirty some other people in this You
Speaker 1: want to be different and and it's more fun to
Speaker 1: to have this whole grand prize all yourself. And and
Speaker 1: maybe Parkinson's on the winning there's gonna be one player
Speaker 1: on this winning lineup that will just be scratching our heads, like,
Speaker 1: how the heck did that guy come up with this person?
Speaker 4: And no one had cocher, no one, Well, no, No
Speaker 4: one had Kirk.
Speaker 1: People had Cocher, but very had cocherk Yeah. Final email
Speaker 1: here will go back to the RAMS for this email,
Speaker 1: which is from Charlie in Irvine, California. Hello, HSNF hour
Speaker 1: to try and be different, would you guys recommend I
Speaker 1: use Blake Koram instead of Kyrien Williams or any other RAM.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. That is Charlie, Irvine, California. We appreciate you,
Speaker 1: Charlie Farrell. I think this is interesting because most people.
Speaker 1: If I look at the ownership percentage for the Rams
Speaker 1: last week, Matthew Stafford came in at eleven percent. That
Speaker 1: was second on the Rams, next to Puka Nakua, who
Speaker 1: came in at seventy five percent. You look at the
Speaker 1: running backs, Kyraen Williams was at seven. Blake Korum point
Speaker 1: two percent. Knowing that Quorum is really really eating into
Speaker 1: the catches, the touches and sometimes the carries inside the
Speaker 1: ten yard line, I wonder if Koram makes for Again,
Speaker 1: if you're filling out multiple lineups, I wonder if Quorum
Speaker 1: should be on one of your lineups just because he
Speaker 1: could be boring a few touchdowns and the Rams have
Speaker 1: the potential to play three games in this challenge as well. Impossible,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna stick with Kyra. That's how I would
Speaker 1: play it.
Speaker 4: But yes, Devin, now I'm gonna have to play a
Speaker 4: lot of teams to get to court.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that you want you want to
Speaker 1: play a lot of teams. We have a lot of
Speaker 1: teams in this right now. We have still a four
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five teams left in the two hundred
Speaker 1: team a two hundred dollars version. The thirty five dollars
Speaker 1: version features nine hundred and thirty six teams left. They've
Speaker 1: already start to fly, start starting to fly here. So
Speaker 1: I would definitely get in while you can. And I'm
Speaker 1: speaking to Farrell, and I'm speaking to everybody here in
Speaker 1: the viewing and listening audience to register for the Playoff
Speaker 1: Challenge too. Uh. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: It's gonna enhance your enjoyment of the divisional playoff. And
Speaker 1: I always say, even if it was a bad season,
Speaker 1: it could still be a great season if you cash
Speaker 1: this one hundred K. Always a great show. When I
Speaker 1: can hang out with my buddy Farrell Elliott from the
Speaker 1: Kentucky Fantasy Football State Championship. KFFFC dot com is where
